Default Re: Legacy of George H.W. Bush -- Fake News

My personal experience of Bush --

My father cancelled a deal where UPI was going to buy a news agency in Florida. Bush was in charge of the CIA and called my dad into his office. He asked my dad to reconsider. He said he couldn't because the news agency was simply a front for the CIA and if he bought them then the Russians could claim his reporters were spies and arrest them. Bush didn't deny this, instead he said that it would be very good for my dad's career if he would just look the other way. My dad didn't and was forced to leave UPI. He went to the NY Times and shortly thereafter (a year or so) he left there. The blurb in the paper said he left due to a difference of opinion concerning policy. (Although my dad didn't elaborate I believe it was due to a special report they were writing on the JFK assassination which has since been shown to be nothing more than fake news from the CIA as part of a disinformation campaign).
